His client base predominantly consisted of investment funds and associated regulated and unregulated structures.  His particular focus was on private equity and real estate asset classes, however over the years his clients have included a whole spectrum of entities. Alongside these he has worked extensively with a broad selection of local regulated Fund and Trust Company businesses – both in terms of the corporate groups themselves, as well as many underlying clients.

Additionally, he was actively involved in the provision of business advisory and restructuring services, including financial due diligence projects, including the acquisition of local regulated businesses, as well as the group reorganisations and liquidations of numerous companies. He has a pragmatic and hands on approach to his clients and regularly advised them on complex matters relevant to them.
